.poses, by addition thereto of a novel multifunctional reaction product capable of imparting extreme pressure, anti-wear, anti-fouling properties, as well as acting as an inhibitor of oxidation and corrosion.

It is well known that various lubricants, whether doped or undoped, tend to oxidize and to form corrosive bodies and sludge, when used in modern engines and machines operating under ordinary conditions or at high speeds, elevated temperatures, heavy loads and/ or other adverse conditions. Some of the deterioration products of lubricants formed duringtheir use are hard carbonaceous materials which adhere to metal surfaces and cause scratching and sending of movable metal parts and sticking of valves and piston rings in engines. In addition, presently known lubricants are generally incapable of maintaining a continuous lubricating film between movable parts, re sulting in gradual or rapid wearing away of metal parts. The damage thus caused required replacement of such parts or even the complete overhauling of engines and machines, resulting in expensive loss of production and time.

In the case of the highest quality non-corrosive, stable lubricating oils, which have been highly refined for specific uses, or synthetic lubricants developed for specific or special uses, has been observed that such oils or lubricants are generally highly susceptible to oxidation and deterioration, becoming progressively more corrosive in engines and machines even under ordinary operating conditions.

To improve the lubricating properties of oils and synthetic lubricants it has become the practice to blend with various lubricants, one, and in most cases, more than one, addition agents, which additives have the effect or property of inhibiting deterioration of lubricants, and impart to them certain beneficial properties. Thus, additives have been specifically designed which have the property of inhibiting corrosion of alloyed bearings such as copperlead, cadmium-silver and the like, developed for automotive, diesel and aircraft engines. Acidic oxidation or decomposition components formed in lubricants during use readily attached these hearings but are inhibited or prevented from doing this by the formation of a corrosion protective film formed on the bearing surface with the aid of the additive. Additives have also been developed which possess the property of modifying the carbonace-- ous materials formed, -by deterioration of lubricants, on piston rods, rings and valves, and other metal parts in internal combustion engines, automotive and truck engines, aviation engines, high speed diesel engines and the like. Such additives serve a very important function because, by modifying this carbonaceous material so that it can be removed easily, the tendency of engine parts to become stuck is inhibited so that ring-sticking, piston scuffing, scratching and wearing away of other engine parts and material reduction of engine efliciency, are prevented or materially inhibited.

Other additives have been developed for the purpose of acting as detergents ,in lubricants in order to assist in the removal of soot or sludge, varnish, lacquer formed from deterioration of the oil when subjected to high operating temperatures. Detergents due to their cleaning action prevent the build-up of these deleterious materials and assist in removing those formed. Anti wear additives have the property of reducing friction of movable parts or different metals. Due to the function exerted or property imparted by such additives on lubricants, wear caused by direct frictional contact of metals can be greatly reduced. Also, additives have been developed to withstand extreme pressures, disperse impurities, solubilize certain additives and the like.

The development of numerous additives has been due to the fact that most, if not all additives are capable of functioning in substantially only one specific manner. Very few lubricant additives have the ability to improve a lubricant in more than just one respect. Thus, a good anti-oxidant might not be able to inhibit lacquer and varnish formation on piston rods or act as a detergent or corrosion inhibitor. ln many cases it is found that an additive possesses very good properties in one respect, but is the cause of harmful formations and therefore detrimental as an additive in another respect. Therefore, other additives are frequently required to obtain a good stable lubricant. The combination of additives in lubricants wherein each additive exerts its influence without interfering with the function of other additives is a difficult matter to attain. In most cases additives co-react or interfere with each other. To prevent this, great care must be taken in selecting the additives, mixing them in specific proportions and continuously watching and replacing additives which have stopped functioning or have deteriorated.

Additives which are used in lubricants for industrial purposes such as in cutting, drawing, quenching, and rolling operations must impart to said lubricants film strength, corrosion inhibiting and detergent properties as Well as aid the base lubricant to cool and lubricate the base metal or other surfaces under the most adverse conditions of lubrication and the like.

It is an object of this invention to improve the lubricating properties of various lubricating bases by the addition thereto of a minor amount of a multi-functional material. Another object of this invention is to add to compounded or doped lubricants a multi-functional material whereby a synergistic effect is produced, resulting in a product of accentuated and improved properties. Another object of this invention is to add to oleaginous materials, organic and inorganic lubricants, mineral lubricating oils, synthetic lubricants and the like, a multifunctional material so as to inhibit oxidation and corrosion and prevent the formation of sludge, varnish and lacquer in said lubricants even under adverse operating conditions. Still another object of this invention is to use in lubricating compositions, a multi-functional material which prevents ringsticking as well as the sticking of other engine parts due to deterioration of the lubricant. Also it is an object of this invention to use an oleagmous materials, e. g. in lubricating compositions, a multi-functional material which inhibits wear, scuffing, scratching and other damage to engine parts. Also it is an ob ect of this invention to improve the lubricating and cooling properties of base materials adapted for use in cutting, quenching, drawing and rolling operations by add1t1on to said base materials a multi-functional material of th1s 1nvention. Furthermore, it is an object of this invention to provide novel multi-functional improving and enhancing additives for lubricating bases. Other ObjBCtS of this invention will appear as the description proceeds.

Broadly stated, this invention is directed to the use, m various materials, of a reaction product obtained by reacting a polyhalogenated organic compound of the formula R4D, where R4 is a halogenated organic radical bonded to a halogen D, with a phosphorous-containing compound of the structures l R P-R2 Formula I p I if if R1I|R2 (R1IIR: M M

Formula II wherein M is a metal atom, X is oxygen, sulfur, selenium or tellurium, R3 is an organic radical attached to X by a bond to a carbon atom, and R1 and R2 are organic radicals, carbon atoms of which are either bonded directly to the P atom or bonded to the P atom through an X atom. The organic radicals R1, R2 and R may have substituent polar groups, such as OH, Cl, SH, SOaH, NHz, N02, etc.

The products of the reaction have the general structure from which it is apparent that the radical R: or the metal M of the starting phosphorus-containing compounds have combined with the halogen D of the starting halogenated organic compound R41), and the halogenated radical R4 has become bonded to phosphorus. 1

Compositions of this invention were evaluated as extreme pressure agents by use of the Four-ball Extreme Pressure Lubricating Tester similar in principle to the Boerlage apparatus described in the magazine, Engineering, volume 136, July 13, 1933. This apparatus comprises four steel balls arranged in a pyramid formation. The top ball is rotated by spindles against the three bottom balls which are clamped in a stationary ball holder. The balls are immersed in the composition to be tested. Tests were run under conditions indicated in the following table and compared with other outstanding extreme pressure compounds.

Reaction products of this invention are equally effective as extreme pressure agents in synthetic lubricants. Thus, to a synthetic base comprising di(2-ethyl hexyi) sebacate containing approximately 15% of a thickening agent (a polymeric ester of acrylic acid), approximately 1% of various types of well known extreme pressure agents were added, and the compositions tested in the Four-ball E.

M. steel on steel 3 ambient temperature] Lubricants of this invention were also tested (and compared with commercial products) in a gear lubricating testing machine in order to determine their effectiveness as hypoid gear lubricants. The gear lubricant testing machine used for carrying out the tests consists essentially of two parallel shafts with four geometrically similar gears affixed to their ends. Each pair of gears is placed in a gear box which also contains the ball-bearing supporting the shafts. The gear and bearing compartments are separated by oil-tight seals. To one of the shafts a loading couple is connected at one end and a torque applied at the other end. By applying a torque on this shaft the other shaft is placed under torsion. The resistance of gears to scoring due to the effectiveness of a lubricant was conducted as follows: A test gear was broken in and then subjected to increased loads for 10 minutes at each load in the presence of a test lubricant and the gear teeth examined forscoring after each increase inload. The results of the scoring tests using diflerent lubricants are given below:
